Asia says:BTW, did you get that squid?
On Feb 13, 2013 at 9:55 pm #
puppychick labratbecky says:I found one for $35 and didn’t want to spend that much just to repurpose.
I then tried MAKING a squid out of hair binders, which actually works fairly well. I started pimping that up and decided it was a ridiculous amount of work so I quit but I will show you a picture. And while I was rummaging for hairbinders (which are stashed away because a little over a year ago I cut a foot off my hair and no longer have any) I found a pair of things that made perfect earrings.
